Stone Edge is on par with Rock Blast. Stone Edge performs worse only if Golem faints with a partially charged bar.

Earthquake is best paired with either of Golem's Ground-type fast moves.

Ancient Power is inferior to Golem's other Rock-type charge moves.

Defensive Moves Explanation

Rock Throw is better than Mud Slap. The former has much better type coverage on Golem’s Grass-type counters and Gyarados.

Mud Shot is a legacy move that tickles attackers.

Rock Blast is superior to Stone Edge due to having more charge bars to work with. Golem may not be able to get off a Stone Edge against its best counters.

Ancient Power is slightly inferior to Rock Blast. It's more easily reactable, but it does more damage.

Earthquake is Golem’s worst defensive charge move.

Rating Explanation:

Golem is well known by now as a legendary bird killer, preying on their pervasive Rock-type weakness. It benefits from strong stats, excellent moves, and a specialized typing. With the departure of the legendary birds, Golem has fallen from grace somewhat. There are few instances now where Golem is a go-to attacker.

On defense, Golem has some hard-hitting attacks, but a pair of crippling weaknesses to Grass and Water-types severely hamstring its performance.
